Investigation Summary
On June 18, 2004, Employee #1, a process technician, was assigned to change tooling on a plastics blow molder. Employee #1 was electrocuted and killed, when he contacted a 480-volt circuit. Apparently, a heater band had dislodged from the blow molder's head and energized the tooling rack that Employee #1 was in contact with. The investigation revealed that Employee #1 had not been trained in electrical safe work practices and how to properly handle and use electrical equipment. He was also not provided with protective equipment or insulated tools.
